What makes a wool pillow so special?

Pillows can be a very personal issue, with many people trying many types before finding the one that’s perfect for them. There are lots of options out there, with a choice of fillings, including feather, feather and down and synthetic or hollowfibre. However, as far as we are concerned wool is the cream of the ‘flock’ and this is why we only make wool filled pillows. Once you have found a high-quality wool pillow, you can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you’ve chosen a natural, supportive option for better sleep.

So, what is it that makes a wool pillow so special?

• Wool is a 100% natural and sustainable fibre, which makes it environmentally friendly.

• Wool is resistant to dust mites and to the build-up of micro bacteria so is hypoallergenic and hygienic. Wool pillows are ideal for those who are allergic to dust mites and other common allergens, helping to reduce allergic reactions and improve sleep quality.

• Wool is temperature regulating and breathable, which makes it cosy when you need to be snug - but also cooling if you are feeling a bit on the warm side. Wool pillows help provide a restful and undisturbed night's sleep by maintaining a comfortable temperature and reducing allergy triggers.

• Wool is naturally fire retardant.

• Wool pillows are durable and maintain their comfort and support over time, making them a long-lasting investment.

Even more good news is that we make a range of wool pillows for you to choose from. Each pillow is individually handcrafted by our talented seamstresses, here in our Devon workshops. What’s more, we only ever use authentic traceable 100% British wool that comes from farmers we know to have the best cared for flocks and from spring and summer shearings when the sheep need to lose their heavy winter fleeces. We have a curated stock of high-quality wool pillows available for immediate purchase, so you can easily find the perfect fit for your needs.

Our wool is washed and needled in British mills without the use of chemicals or bleach, so the wool stays as natural as nature intended. Our pillows are free from chemicals, synthetics, and unnecessary additives, ensuring a pure and healthy sleep environment. It is then encased in beautifully soft, high thread count cotton that has been certified by Better Cotton, an organisation that supports better eco-friendly and socio economic cotton farming practices.

Wool pillows stand out from the crowd thanks to their unique blend of comfort, support, and natural benefits. Each pillow is filled with 100% British wool, making it a truly natural and hypoallergenic choice for sleepers who value a healthy night’s rest. One of the most remarkable features of wool is its ability to regulate temperature—keeping you cool when it’s warm and cosy when it’s chilly. Wool also excels at wicking away moisture, so you stay dry and comfy all night long.

Another key advantage is that wool pillows are naturally resistant to dust mites and other allergens, making them perfect for anyone who suffers from allergies. The breathable nature of wool ensures that your pillow stays fresh and hygienic, while the standard size (75 x 50 cm) makes it a great fit for most beds and mattresses. With these unique characteristics, wool pillows are filled with everything you need for a perfect, restful night’s sleep.

Switching to a wool pillow can transform your sleep experience. Thanks to the natural temperature regulation of wool, you’ll stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter—no more tossing and turning because you’re too hot or too cold. Wool pillows are hypoallergenic, making them an excellent choice for sleepers with allergies or asthma, as they help keep dust mites and other irritants at bay.

The medium support of a wool pillow gently cradles your head and neck, ensuring proper alignment and reducing aches and pains. This means you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to start your day. Plus, the natural properties of wool make these pillows both comfy and supportive, so you can enjoy all the benefits of a healthy, uninterrupted night’s sleep. If you’re looking for a pillow that’s perfect for making every night a great one, a wool pillow is the way to go.

Finding your perfect wool pillow is all about personal preference and sleep style. If you prefer a firmer pillow, look for one with a higher loft—this will provide extra support for your head and neck. For those who like a softer feel, a lower loft wool pillow might be the ideal choice. Always check that your pillow is made with 100% British wool, as this ensures you’re getting a natural, hypoallergenic product that’s gentle on allergies.

Consider the standard size (75 x 50 cm) for a versatile fit, but don’t forget to think about the cover material—a soft cotton cover is a popular option for added comfort. By taking these factors into account, you can ensure you’re choosing a wool pillow that’s perfectly suited to your needs, making every night’s sleep a happy one.

When it comes to choosing the best pillow, wool pillows offer a range of benefits that set them apart from other types. Unlike down pillows, wool pillows are hypoallergenic and naturally resistant to dust mites, making them a great option for sleepers with allergies. Compared to memory foam pillows, wool pillows are breathable and regulate temperature, so you won’t wake up feeling overheated or uncomfortable.

Wool pillows are also a natural and sustainable choice, unlike synthetic pillows that can be less eco-friendly. Plus, they’re durable and long-lasting, making them a smart investment for your sleep and your health. By choosing a wool pillow, you’re not only ensuring a comfy and healthy night’s sleep, but you’re also supporting sustainable practices and making a great choice for the environment.
